Recently, I’ve noticed that the “What handles fit which moulds?” or “What moulds do Lee six-cavity handles fit?” type of questions are starting to make their seemingly quarterly appearances. In order to eliminate as many future questions as possible, the following are my experiences with Lee six-cavity handles, the moulds that they will fit, and any required modifications:
MOULDS REQUIRING NO MODIFICATIONS TO USE:
Lyman one and two-cavity moulds.
Lee 6 cavity moulds.
Ranchdog moulds.
NOE moulds
Accurate moulds
MP moulds
"Big Lube" Moulds
MOULDS REQUIREING MODIFICATIONS FOR LEE HANDLES
Lyman four-cavity mould: Modifications required by grinding/filing handles to a thickness of .249” and enlarging the holes to 7/32“. *
RCBS two-cavity mould: Modification required by grinding/filing handles to a thickness of .298”. No hole modification is required. *
* Measurements are those that work with my moulds and are given as guidelines and references only. Your mileage may vary.
Side Note 1: It has been mentioned that Lee six-cavity handles will fit the following moulds. I don’t know if modifications are required, or not.

If this becomes a sticky, I would like to thank Geargnasher for the prod, and Buckshot for the assistance.
